washington post host matt miller and joining us from montgomery, alabama, brian stevenson. thank you for joining us today, which is a very big deal in the days of the halls of criminal justice reform. >> my pleasure. >> brian, first your reaction to the proposed changed by the attorney general in terms of mandatory sentencing requirements. how will this change or reform our justice codes? >> i think it's a very significant development. the politics of fear and anger have paralyzed legislatures and congress and other decision making bodies. we have been watching this problem get bigger and bigger. i think it's a huge development. the prison population in 1972 was 300,000 people in the united states. today, it's 2.3 million. most of that increase is a function of mandatory drug laws and the drug policy that's created the mandatory minimums. eliminating that on the federal side has a huge impact on the length of sentences and the character of people sent to prison. i think it's a really positive step forward that i hope other states will model and replicate at the state level.

you heard him say, it all starts with these strict sentencing guidelines authored way back when in washington that a lot of folks believed were just quite simply overly harsh and grossly unfair. evan perez. welcome to cnn. our new justice correspondent. talk me through this plan. how does this work? >> well, it's basically -- holder is is basically announcing a plan in which they're going to use prosecutorial discretion, essentially. in the case of someone who is, for example, being charged with trafficking, say, five kilograms of cocaine, they might not mention that in the charging documents. instead in that way they can avoid, for example, a ten-year minimum. which is what you would have for five kilos. there's some conditions on all this. for example, it has to be nonviolent. you can't have been dealing to children, for instance. you can't have been selling drugs to children. and there can't be any guns involved. so there are -- there are some conditions. i think the justice department feels that if you do this, then fewer people will be heading to federal prison. they'll be going to drug
